and the IRSE website says: "If you are planning to take modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 do ensure that you have applied to become a member of the IRSE by 14 February 2020 (you do not need to be a member to sit module A)"

Unfortunately COVID-19 means that these will need to be cancelled as they are all planned for a timescale in which travelling and physical meetings need to be minimised.  We are currently thinking what we can do via the internet, whilst everyone is in social isolation; its early days but we intend to do something on each of these days but probably spread out also onto additional dates rather than completely occupy the original time slot.  Clearly there will be some minuses, but also there could be some positives- it may make the sessions more accessible to those not in the UK and spread out to be sequential that which at a physical event need to be parallel streams.
The Telecoms event is certainly going ahead in the original timeslot and was always intended to be a series of presentations with discussion afterwards and experience from this will inform the approach we take for the others.  However prior to that we will be trying to come up with a plan- suggestions and offers of help are welcome!
